Are students given email accounts?

All students are given free email accounts. Information regarding email accounts is mailed to students before they arrive on campus. The student's email account will remain active during the academic calendar year, through summer, and until July after graduation.

My student is bringing a personal computer to campus. What services does the university provide?

Students who have personal computers with wired or wireless capabilities may connect to the university network from their residence hall rooms and have free access to network software, email, and the Internet. Students without personal computers have the same access to the network from computer labs located around campus. Please see our technology services page for detailed information.
